Liana B. Married on 10/30/2021Magical Wedding
Our wedding was at the Fairmount Horticultural Center in October. The day was absolutely magical! Every single detail came together in a way that absolutely exceeded every expectation that I ever had for my wedding! It was just perfect in every way. My family and friends couldn’t get over the space and how different it was from your typical wedding. I need to say that Gail helped us navigate moving our wedding due to Covid and answered every frantic email I had to finalizing the details. For the day of Adam Fisher was the MVP he was incredibly helpful and since I didn’t have a coordination stepped up on a huge way for us. I will forever be great full for the hard work and attention to detail for the whole team there! They made my day perfect and I didn’t worry about a single thing! Thank you from my husband myself and my whole family for an experience of a lifetime! -

A Fairytale
The Fairmount Park Horticulture Center was the venue of our dreams. It combines the the feeling of nature with the security of a climate-controlled indoor venue. Gail and The Hort staff made our wedding day seamless and all of the details were exactly as we had desired. Though it was pricey, we felt it was deserved. My husband and I received countless compliments from our guests on how stunned they were with the venue and how special it felt compared to a typical venue. Thank you to all of the staff for making our day an absolute fairytale.
